Aidiladha  A Time For Reflection, Strengthening Of Brotherhood, Says Fahmi

KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- Aidiladha should serve as an opportunity for self-reflection to demonstrate sincere devotion to Allah SWT and to strengthen Muslim brotherhood, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said. 

In a Facebook post today, he said Aidiladha reminds Muslims of the profound sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim A.S and his son, Prophet Ismail A.S, who upheld Allah’s command with utmost sincerity and trust.

“Aidiladha is a symbol of devotion and sacrifice... may this Aidiladha be an opportunity for us all to reflect and express sincere devotion to Allah SWT,” the post read.

Fahmi also prayed that all acts of worship by Muslims be accepted by Allah SWT on this blessed day.

Muslims in Malaysia celebrate Aidiladha tomorrow.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri called on all Muslims to embrace the true meaning of sacrifice, not only through acts of worship but also through efforts to strengthen unity, nurture compassion, and uphold the well-being of the people.

“Aidiladha teaches us that sacrifices made with sincerity and piety form the foundation of a united and prosperous society.

“I pray that this year’s sacrificial rites will be accepted by Him and mark the beginning of a more blessed, harmonious and principled life. Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha to all Muslims,” she said in a post on Facebook.

Meanwhile, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the blessed occasion served as a reminder of the true meaning of sacrifice, sincerity, and obedience.

“Aidiladha also unites our hearts in the spirit of giving and caring for others. May the sacrificial rites performed be a reflection of our gratitude and empathy towards those in need.

“To the pilgrims, the ‘duyufurrahman’ (guests of Allah) currently in the Holy Land, we pray that all your rituals will be eased and that your haj is accepted as ‘haj mabrur’,” she said.

She also prayed that this sacred day be celebrated with gratitude, serenity, and togetherness, and expressed hope that the spirit of Aidiladha would give all Muslims the strength to continue serving and strengthening humanitarian values in daily life.
